Chapter 734: Slap a slap and give a sweet date (4000 word chapters)
Three years have been a short time, and since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it can only account for one percent. From the thousands of years of history of China, even a small wave is not even considered a small wave.
However, three years have passed, and the entire high-level officials of the Ming Dynasty have washed their cards. The group of important officials who were originally serious and resigned were replaced by a group of equally steady but relatively radical bosses.
The three years have changed a lot, but the only thing that has not changed is that the Ming Dynasty has never stopped expanding outward. Whether it is the large area north of the North Mountain or the distant Cape of Good Hope, it has been taken into account by the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty now is like a glutton who will never be full, greedily devouring all the land and interests it can see.
If we must say that there is no shadow of the Ming Dynasty, there are probably only a few places left.
Japan is a place because the Queen of Japan is about to become the official concubine of the Liao King of the Ming Dynasty. As a dowry, the dowry of the Escort was officially included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty will also officially station troops on the Escort Island in the 15th year of Chongzhen and establish a Governor's Office.
America is also a place, because the Ming Dynasty has no energy to look so far now, although Emperor Chongzhen has long been drooling at America.
Europe is also a part of the world, because with the joint efforts of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, Europe has already started the big-eyed and small-eyed mode. Maybe one day it will start the movie because of a more look in the crowd.
The Ottomans are also a place. If you want to reach the Duke of England's fief, you have to re-diggle the Suez Canal first. This project can be completed within ten or eight years. Naturally, the Ming Dynasty could not take action at this time.
The last special place is Mughal.
The Ming Dynasty withdrew a large number of garrisons from the Mughals, retaining only the defensive garrisons against the occupied land, which greatly relieved the Mughals.
Then Daroschijo, Ozerab and Shashua started the Mughal version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The conscience of the world, the Mughals beat human brains into dog brains, and they were really made by Shah Jahan's three sons, and they had nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty.
At most, Ayi said that he was very tired. He not only had to translate "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but also translated "Water Margin" in large quantities and made modifications to most of the contents. Then, while the Mughals fought each other, they were busy quelling the continuous rebellion.
This is how the whole world came from the 14th to 17th years of Chongzhen. People outside the Ming Dynasty were busy fighting each other, and the people of the Ming Dynasty were busy farming, studying and preparing for war. A harmonious and stable prosperity appeared under the rule of Emperor Chongzhen.
The closest to the Ming Dynasty, Japan, is the one who feels the deepest.
Although the Tokugawa shogunate had been busy with the country's recession, the Western barbarians were still running towards Japan, looking for all opportunities, such as preaching, doing business, and even facing continuous suppression by Japan, these people did not give up.
But from the 16th year of Chongzhen, the Western barbarians seemed to have disappeared. According to their own words, the country was fighting and they wanted to go back.
Although Tokugawa Iemitsu did not go to the Western barbarian countries to see all these changes, he could still figure out the key points.
Because the entire Japan is now suppressed by the Ming Dynasty and cannot breathe even though the Ming Dynasty did not directly smash the scene, with the continuous support of North Korea, Ryukyu and the South Asian vassals, the Japanese form is getting more and more difficult day by day.
So Tokugawa Iemitsu was very sad.
I am also interested in the Ming Dynasty. Although I can't do the same as Korea and Ryukyu, I am always much stronger than other foreign vassals, right?
The simplest example is that when I was playing in seclusion, I never thought of keeping my father from the Ming Dynasty. So why do I still feel so sad now?
Do you have to let Japan enclose a stamp?
Faced with Chen Hao's request to meet him, Tokugawa Ikawa did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly ran into the Japanese palace and discussed it with Masatogen, and then took his men to Kyushu Island.
The land area of Japan is really small, and Chen Hao sent people to inform Tokugawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ikawa Ik
Faced with the diverse dishes, Tokugawa Iemitsu felt a little ignorant of food. Since the beginning of the time, Chen Hao has been urging himself to eat the dishes, but he has not mentioned a word about the serious matter.
It was not until a meal that didn't know what it tasted that Chen Hao wiped his hands and said with a smile: "General Tokugawa, Chen will set off for the journey back to the Ming Dynasty tomorrow to report his work. You need more attention to all the matters on Kyushu Island."
Tokugawa Iegu nodded and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Shen. Mr. Tokugawa has also prepared some gifts for Mr. Shen, and there are some that need to be dedicated to the emperor. Tokugawa is a foreign minister, and it is difficult to enter the capital to meet the saint without an imperial edict. I have to ask Mr. Shen more in everything?"
Chen Hao smiled and said, "This is easy to say, Chen will definitely live up to his trust. General Tokugawa is the uncle of the Queen of your country. After the Queen of your country married my King Liao of Ming Dynasty, General Tokugawa will be a relative of the country, and the two countries will be the best for the family. Everything is easy to talk about between the family."
Tokugawa Masahiro nodded again to thank you for your ghost!
After the two laughed and said a few more polite words, Chen Hao continued: "When talking about the marriage between the Queen of Your Country and the King of Liao of Ming Dynasty, Chen suddenly remembered that by the 18th year of Chongzhen, His Highness of the King of Liao would marry the Queen of Your Country. I guess Chen's return to China to report on his work is also related to this?"
Tokugawa Iemitsu's face, which had just been smiling, suddenly froze, and then smiled and said, "Yes, I'm going to get married next year. I'm so happy for Hikako."
Chen Hao nodded with a smile, and then continued: "Speaking of this, the Hokkien Island is the dowry of your country to His Highness Xingzi, and from then on, His Highness Liao and His Highness Xingzi will be jointly owned by His Highness Liao and His Highness Xingzi.
But there are still many barbarians on the island. After His Highness the King of Liao and His Highness Xingzi's wedding next year, we will continue to lead troops to eliminate those barbarians?"
Seeing that Chen Hao had already seen a dagger, Tokugawa Ie-gun stopped pulling out some useless things, but sat upright and looked at Chen Hao: "What does Governor Chen mean?"
Chen Hao said: "As a minister, you always have to share your worries for the emperor. There are many barbarians on the Hoiyi Island. Chen is uneasy. General Tokugawa is the general of the Japanese conquering the barbarians..."
Tokugawa Iemitsu naturally heard Chen Hao's voiceover and nodded, "If Tokugawa leads troops to clear the enemy, it's okay. But this Eagle savage is cruel and easy to kill. If you want to clear the enemy, unless you have the troops like the Ming Dynasty, and with the troops from the Japanese country, you are really unable to meet the strength?"
Chen Hao picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said with a smile: "When it comes to military strength, Japanese warriors are very good. If they are equipped with the weapons of the Ming Dynasty, then the officers of the Ming Dynasty will train them, I don't know?"
Tokugawa Iemitsu suddenly felt desperate, and the shadow in his heart began to expand without limit. Finally, did he start to reach out to the army?
Since the Kyushu Island Lease Act, the entire Japan has lived under the shadow of the Ming Dynasty. It is no exaggeration to say that any Japanese person's life will never avoid one thing in the Ming Dynasty.
From the moment of birth of almost any Japanese, the Stupid Woman who delivered her birth is likely to have received training from the Ming Dynasty, and the food and drinks they have since childhood may be sold by merchants from the Ming Dynasty.
When you grow up and start working, you are likely to be a shop or industry controlled by the Ming merchants. Until you die, you may still have to be buried according to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty.
In more than ten years, the entire Ming Dynasty has penetrated all aspects of Japan. Except for the shogunate and military that have not been infiltrated by the Ming Dynasty, the remaining places have vague shadows of the Ming Dynasty.
Even the court was actually not without the shadow of the Ming Dynasty, especially after the marriage between Xingzi and the Liao King was decided in the 13th year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty had an even greater influence on Japan.
Even the people of Japan began to recognize that the Ming Dynasty was the master of the whole world. Of course, Japan and the Ming Dynasty were in-laws, and they were probably similar to having children at home, which was much nobler than those servants!
It doesn't matter if one or two people have this idea. After all, Japan's population is not too small, and life has improved in recent years, especially when those samurai who had been supervisors in the Ming Dynasty came back and made a big announcement. It is normal for such messy ideas to have this kind of messy idea.
But when the whole of Japan began to slowly agree with this idea, it became very scary, especially because I actually had a little bit of recognition...
Looking at the table in front of him, Tokugawa Iemitsu finally resisted the urge to turn the table over, nodded and said, "I believe that after equipping the Ming Dynasty's military equipment, the Japanese army will also go to the next level?"
However, it would be better to ask the officers of the Ming Dynasty to teach the Japanese army. After all, the Japanese samurai are rather wild, and they are more likely to be better than others, and it is difficult to be conquered. If it makes the officers of the Ming Dynasty angry, it would be not good."
Chen Hao narrowed his eyes and said, "General Tokugawa is also a talented person who is well-read in poetry and books. Haven't he heard of the old stories of Sun Wuzi?"
The old story of Sun Wuzi, Tokugawa Iemitsu, of course, knew that the palace maids who trained the King of Wu, let them go if the order was not fulfilled for unknown reasons. The second time the order was not fulfilled, the captain would be killed, and in front of the King of Wu, the famous saying "The general is in the army, and the king is not accepted."
Chen Hao meant the same. After the instructors of the Ming Dynasty came, whether the Japanese warriors were trained or not, it was not important to kill a few of them, and the rest would naturally become honest.
This is the truth, and doing this will definitely suppress the Japanese samurai.
Tokugawa Iemitsu believed that even if there was no such move, the officers of the Ming army would definitely be able to suppress the Japanese samurai, because the Japanese army now looked at the Ming army as well as the grandson’s grandfather…
But after agreeing so, Tokugawa Iemitsu was still unwilling to accept it: "Even so, it is not easy to pacify the Hokkien before the Liao King gets married next year. Why not let the Japanese warriors use the equipment of the Ming Dynasty and make plans after pacifying the Hokkien?"
Chen Hao smiled and said, "If it were only for the Japanese samurai, I was afraid that the Essians might not be able to be pacified by the 30th year of Chongzhen. If the teachings of my Ming officers were added, I was afraid that the Essians would be able to be completely pacified by the fifteenth year of Chongzhen.
Of course, in order to make the Japanese samurai adapt and to prove that Japan can go further under the guidance of our Ming officers, it is better to select some samurai to set up a battalion and teach them by the Ming officers, and then promote them after they are trained. What does General Tokugawa think?"
Tokugawa Ie-Kiang held back and forth, finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, according to the Governor, after Tokugawa returns, he will select elite samurai. After the Essay is pacified, the samurai in this camp will become His Highness Hiroko's dowry."
Chen Hao was very satisfied. As long as he could plant a seed in the Japanese army now, he would not be afraid that the warriors in this camp would not become the loyalists of the Ming Dynasty with the ability of the Jinyiwei and the people in the East Factory.
Especially after the warriors in this battalion are trained, they will spread to other Japanese troops based on this. In the end, the entire Japanese army will become the extra-staff military force of the Ming Dynasty. Do the entire Japanese still have to run away?
After picking up the teacup and greeting Tokugawa, Chen Hao continued: "Speaking of this, there is another thing to make a fortune. I wonder if General Tokugawa has considered it?"
Tokugawa Iemitsu is now full of military and military power, and the direction of the entire country in the future is still a matter of whether to make money or not. He just said lightly and asked, "I don't know what the Governor is talking about?"
Chen Hao said: "My Ming Dynasty recently dug the Suez Canal in the Ottoman side. General Tokugawa must have known it?"
Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded and said, "Yes, our country has transported thousands of samurai to the Ottoman side to serve as supervisors, so naturally they have some understanding."
Nodded, Chen Hao continued, "Then General Tokugawa must also know that I, the Ming Dynasty, still lacks labor.
Of course, it is not for the people of your country to work as laborers. After all, they will be a family in the future. Since the people of our Ming Dynasty will not let the people of our country do such things, they will naturally not let the people of your country do it.
The governor means that the Japanese people have two choices. One is to do some easy work to earn money from the Ottoman side, and the other is to form a group of samurai to find laborers."
Tokugawa Iemitsu shook his head and said, "It is naturally a great thing to find a laborer, but where should we go now? Go north to the north? Go west? Or where should we go?"
Chen Hao laughed and said, "To the west of the Ottomans, there are many small countries there, and it is not easy to find laborers? As long as your country's warriors receive training from our Ming officers and equipped with our Ming weapons, I believe that those barbarians are not opponents of the warriors?"
After thinking about the white eagles he had seen before, Tokugawa Iemitsu said proudly: "Of course, just those mere white eagles, they naturally cannot be my Yamato Samurai's opponent."
